Importing a car is not a difficult task and many people order on line from discounted sites such as www.japanesevehicles.com or www.japancarsdirect.com, as well as from second hand car shops in the US or St Maarten. From the US, cars can be shipped through Tropical Shipping or Bernuth Lines (loading ports in Florida). They operate weekly services to the Caribbean islands.
A shipping agent will help you clear customs and with the other administrative procedures. Import duties on vehicles are high (95% of the purchasing cost as well as the shipment cost). For vehicles over 5 year of age, an additional environmental tax of USD2, 000.00 is charged.
Locally new vehicles can be purchased from TDC (agent for Suzuki and Toyota) and Horsford’s (Agent for Nissan and Kia).
